Summary

Septoplasty is one of the most common procedures in rhinology. In many centers and private institutions, an infundibulotomy is performed in addition to septoplasty without evidence of significant improvement for the patient. Often the reason given for this is the improvement of the functional outcome in terms of better nasal breathing, although there is no evidence for this. If a significantly better outcome can be shown, one would have a first evidence for the extended procedure.
